st: graph bug

[Edwin Leuven <e.leuven@uva.nl>]

not being a fan of stata 8 graphs (too slow, nasty syntax) i 
nevertheless cannot always afford to switch software (R), just to 
look at my data.

i try to make a simple line graph, but fail:

. twoway (line train1920-train1970 leeftijd, clpat(solid ...) 
legend(off))
too many options
too many options
too many options
r(1003);

while this works fine:

. twoway (line train1920-train1990 leeftijd, legend(off))


then there is apparently a limit on varlist:

. twoway (line train* leeftijd, legend(off))
too many variables specified
too many variables specified
r(103);

which i couldn't find in the documentation...

any takers?

edwin.
